Chapter 515 Playing with the Servant
At the same time, Fubao was already walking through the bustling crowd with her black bun. Her pink and tender bun, with the equally cute black bun, immediately caused a commotion in the crowd.
"Look, whose child is this? He is so good-looking."
"That dog is cute too, but why is there no adult around?"
As everyone was talking, they saw a large group of servants chasing after them. They shouted at Fubao, "Little girl, stop right there! How dare you steal our master's dog? When I catch you, I'll break your legs."
The servant's voice immediately exploded in the crowd.
"What? This little girl is a thief? She doesn't look like one."
"Oh, don't you know there's a saying that goes, don't judge a person by his appearance?"
"No wonder there's no adult around. It turns out he's a thief."
"Then help catch her quickly. It would be embarrassing if people spread the news that there is a thief under the emperor's feet."
"I think you have a hole in your brain. You can't tell at a glance that such a young child is from a poor family. Didn't you see the clothes she was wearing? Those clothes are not something that most people can wear. If I'm not mistaken, they are Shu brocade. Do you know how much a piece of Shu brocade costs?"
"How much silver?"
"More than a thousand taels per horse, and there is no market for it. It is usually a tribute, and can only be rewarded by the emperor."
"Ah? This girl's identity is not simple, then why is she called a thief?"
"Have you ever seen a dog that steals from someone else run after the thief?"
Everyone was speechless. The only thing in their minds was "catch the thief". They didn't think of anything else.
However, Fubao didn't have time to care about these gossips. As long as no one tried to block her way, she could flexibly avoid being tracked by those people.
I saw a servant was about to grab Fubao's collar.
"Hahaha, I'm about to catch it." The servant was panting, with obvious excitement in his voice.
But in the next moment, Fubao suddenly turned right, and the servant missed his target and fell down. His palms were scraped and the skin was directly scraped off. He grimaced in pain and raised his hands to scream.
The black ball followed Fubao and drifted beautifully on the ground, turning into an alley on the side.
The alley was full of debris and there was no one walking around. Fubao started running and overturned the piled things. The broken dustpan, rotten bamboo poles, and broken benches all became helpers for Fubao to create obstacles.
When the servants came after them, they saw a little pink ball busy setting up roadblocks.
They did slow down their pace. Fubao made a playful face at everyone, jumped left and right a few times, and taunted: "Come and catch me if you can? Lululu——"
The servants were so angry at Fubao that they jumped up and down, but there was nothing they could do. They could only watch Fubao run out of the alley.
They did not give up chasing Fubao, and after overcoming the obstacles, they found that Fubao was gone.
The streets were full of people, but the little pink and black balls were nowhere to be seen.
"What should we do? If we lose the man, how can we explain to the master when we get back? He will definitely skin us alive."
"Humph, that little girl definitely didn't go far. How could she run so fast? It only took us less than half a cup of tea to get from one end of the alley to this end. That girl couldn't have gotten lost in such a short time. She must have hidden herself."
A servant looked around the shops along the street and came up with an idea.
"All of you should spread out and search from shop to shop. Even if you have to dig deep into the ground, you must find that girl. I don't believe that she can grow wings and fly away."
The servants immediately scattered and searched every shop.
Fubao did go into a drugstore. She had a natural affinity for drugstores, so as soon as she ran out of the alley, she saw a drugstore diagonally opposite and she ran in without hesitation.
As Fubao entered the door, he bumped into a lady.
Fubao looked up quickly and saw that the lady was wearing a veil but very gorgeous clothes. She was supported by two beautiful maids and followed by several old women.
"Whose little girl is this? She's so clumsy. Can you take responsibility for hurting my wife?"
"Yuanbao." The woman gently scolded the maid, who immediately lowered her head and respectfully took a step back.
The woman looked down at Fubao and saw a cute little girl, as white as a snowball, with a pair of chubby little hands holding onto the hem of her skirt.
"Girl, where is your master?"
The woman's voice was very friendly and gentle, just like Fubao's mother.
Fubao raised his little head and said sweetly, "Auntie, I met a bad guy and got separated from my family. Can you help me?"
"Madam? It's time for us to go back home." The maid behind her reminded her at the right time. Her meaning was very clear, telling women not to meddle in other people's business.
But the woman seemed not to hear him. She slowly bent down, took Fubao's hand and asked, "What kind of bad guys are they? Why did they arrest you?"
"I don't know him. My father, my master and I just came to Beijing when we met a bad guy. He wanted to steal my black group, but I refused. They wanted to take the black group away. I escaped with the black group and got separated from my father and my master. But I remember the inn we stayed in. Madam, just take me out of this street. I can go back to the inn by myself."
Fubao spoke clearly and in a soft and cute voice, as if it had touched upon the woman's memories.
She agreed for some unknown reason.
"Okay, I'll help you. Will you follow me into the carriage?"
"Madam! This girl has an unknown background. Who knows who she has offended? Let's not stir up trouble, otherwise the master will blame you again. You have already fallen out of favor recently because of your disfigurement. Now there are more complications. The master will be even more distant from you. Madam, please think twice."
Fubao didn't understand what the old woman said, but she knew that the aunt in front of her must have something to hide. She took a closer look at the woman's body and saw a faint gray gas surrounding her. Fubao couldn't help but frown.
"Aunt, can you take me to the carriage? I can help you."
"You little girl, you can't even protect yourself, and you still want to help our lady? You really don't mind the strong wind and your tongue flicked away."
The old woman spoke harshly and gave Fubao a look of disdain.
Fu Bao didn't want to pay any attention to the old woman at all. He just pretended not to hear her and said to her stubbornly, "Auntie, believe me, I can help you, but I still need Madam to help me avoid the difficulties in front of me first."
"Hmph, Madam, look at this little girl, has she become a spirit? The beads on the abacus are flying all over my face. You should just ignore her, right? She is just taking advantage of you."
The old woman stepped forward, pushed aside the maid Yuanbao, and stood beside the woman.
Fubao could feel the woman's grip on her hand tightening a little.
Just as the few people were in a stalemate, a group of servants passed by the door. They took a look at the medicine shop, and one of them said, "You go to the medicine shop and take a look. But it is unlikely that the little girl would go into the medicine shop. Let's go to the front and take a look."
Fu Bao heard the noises outside and the approaching footsteps. She turned her eyes slightly and lifted the veil that the woman used to cover her face. When she saw the woman's face clearly, Fu Bao could not help but exclaimed in a low voice.
